Lefty Driesell is the epitome of "peacock to feather duster." When Len Bias was crushing the ACC, Coach Driesell was the toast of basketball. After Bias died, there was an investigation of the Maryland program, which showed the sort of ugliness that would have been found in virtually any 1980s Top 25 NCAA Men's Basketball program. He was forced out at Maryland, and never returned to the same heights.
To his everlasting credit, I never heard Coach Driesell complaint that he was a victim of the Len Bias' death. I think he recognized that the death of Len Bias was a tragedy, first and foremost, for Len Bias and his family and that it would ugly for him to contend that he was a victim as well. I am confident that I never heard him refer back to his heroic actions saving those children, because I first learned of that story reading your column.
According to Andy Reid (of the KC Chiefs and formerly of the Philadelphia Eagles), Taylor Swift knows alot about poptarts. He claims that she baked lots of them for the Chiefs players when she started showing up at the games after dating Travis Kelce. So now we have Lucky Charms and Lucky Tarts.

Thank you for yet another great column.
